Filippo Ganna, the 26-year-old cycling champion from Team Ineos, set a new hour speed world record, after covering 56.792 Km of track in 60 minutes at the Grenchen velodrome. The world record holder, Dan Bigham, set the previous record just last August 19th at 55.548 Km. How did Ganna do it? For sure his amazing talent and a lot of work but also thanks to a largely 3D printed Pinarello bike: the BOLIDE F HR 3D.

GSD Global, an engineering and design consultancy specializing in premium e-bikes, has teamed up with Swedish engineering company Sandvik to improve e-bike production using titanium additive manufacturing. Together, the companies have developed a 3D printed motor node, which is both significantly lighter and cheaper to produce compared to the traditionally manufactured part.
